37
I woke up feeling Bane's arm around my hips and my arm was resting on his chest. The sun was already up and I didn't expect myself to be up. I looked up at Bane to see his eyes were half open and he was staring at the ceiling. I groaned softly.
"You always manage to wake up before me." I noted and a smile slowly came upon his face.
"I like being up early so I can watch you wake up. Before you came I had no one to wake up to." he admitted. I curled up to him and laid there for a moment.
"Do you have to go underground again?" I asked.
"Yes in a couple of hours. I am working on the bomb we have. Making sure that when it explodes it will level everything." he said and I nodded and lifted my head upon hearing a knock on the door. With one hand, Bane took the blanket and pulled it higher over my body and I smiled. "Enter."
The door open and in came Barsad with a black bag over his shoulder. I was mildly serious now. He was back and I was aching to know what happened. He didn't look injured so I was happy for that. I looked at the bag with mild excitement.
"So how did go?" I asked and Barsad only grinned and placed his hand inside the bag.
"Why don't you ask the good doctor." he said and held up a large round head. Bloody it was, and I just stared at the head of my creator. Eyes rolled back into his head and he looked so peaceful. I didn't show any sign of happiness. "The whole island has been leveled. I snuck in while my me n placed explosives at the main gates of the building and a few inside. I figured you'd want to see him before everything went down."
I only nodded approving of his work.
"Thank you." I said and he nodded placing the head back in the bag.
"Of course." he replied. Bane lifted his head now.
"Start heading underground. The explosive is almost ready." he told and Barsad nodded slowly and left out the room. I was silent for a long moment and Bane made me look at him and his eyes were mildly soft.
"Are you satisfied, happier now?" he asked and I rested my hand over his and nodded.
"I am." I replied and he nodded slowly before leaning in to kiss me and I returned it. He pulled away and placed his mask on. He got out of the bed and I just watched him as he got dressed in a black tight shirt and cargo jeans. He glanced at me now and I knew he was preparing to leave.
"I will have another phone given to you soon. Be sure to keep Onyx fed and I shall return tonight. Be careful when you go out." he said and I smiled with content.
"Alright." I replied. He nodded and caressed my cheek before leaving. I only smiled and decided to get dressed myself, this time in a white dress. It was very casual and stopped at my knees and the straps were thin. I put on some sandals and left the building. I began taking my time and roaming the city. I came upon bridges that were now deserted and I assumed it was how people came and left through the city. I continued on my walk until I came across a large church. The glasses in the windows were shattered and it looked deserted. I decided to walk inside and see what it was about. As I moved towards the front of the church I saw the building had tall large doors. I opened the first one and it made a large creaking noise and I looked up at the top. It was like this door hadn't been open in ages. I slipped inside and looked around. It was so dusty and silent. I looked forward to see a large alter and brown pews were lined up on the left and right of the building. Light shined through the broken windows. I slowly walked down the middle of the aisle and I saw someone sitting in the front row on the left side. He sat directly in the middle, too. All I could see was that he was in a black shirt and he had short neck length black hair.
When I finally walked around the row I saw it was a young man who was just looking forward at all the torn ornaments. He had strong dark eyes. His head turned to me and he smiled.
"Hello. I didn't know anyone else comes around here." he said and his voice was smooth yet somewhat dull. I shook my head.
"I don't." I replied and he scooted away from me and smiled.
"Please sit." he said and I nodded once looking him over. He was dressed in ratty clothes, but his face was too clean for a homeless person. I stared at him for a moment.
"Who are you?" I asked and he only smiled.
"Friends called me Wayne." he replied. "Bruce Wayne." I nodded.
"Your friends died?" I asked and he shook his head slowly.
"No they are all in hiding." he said and I nodded.
"From Bane." I assumed and he nodded.
"Yes so you are familiar with him then." he said and I nodded slowly.
"I know of him." I replied and he nodded.
"You seem a bit…not as affected by what's gone on." he said looking me over and I nodded.
"I am not very affected…I am his woman." I replied and he rested his eyes on me.
"He took you against your will?" he asked and I shrugged.
"At first yes, but I accepted what was my life." I told and he slowly nodded.
"Haven't you ever thought of escaping?" he asked and I shook my head and crossed my legs.
"It's not that simple…besides, I am much of an animal then he is." I replied and he turned to me.
"What is your name?" he asked and I blinked at him.
"Alitaria." I replied and he nodded.
"Well Alitaria I will tell you this, we all have choices even if they have been limited to two. If somehow you have only one choice, you find a way to make a second choice." he told. I blinked at his words and laughed dryly.
"My Mr. Wayne I can only imagine what your profession was here before you took the city. You must have been a councilor or an advisor of some sort." I told and he only nodded with a small smile.
"I have been known to save thousands with the things I do." he told. I smiled thinking he must have been a remarkable guy before the city was taken over. But that's when I knew that soon it wouldn't matter. Bane was going to level the entire city soon.
"Well when this is all over I hope to see you again." I said standing and he nodded.
"Yes I will see you again when this is all over." he said and I smiled and waved before moving out of the church and moving down the street. I was hungry so I figured I would find something to eat.
